Things happen. When traveling abroad, many surprises are photographed ...but some are so unanticipated, it creates a series of events that simply could not be predicted. We gain from such experiences in unusual ways.As incredible as Machu Picchu indeed is, what happens next after it's announced while on the train going back to Cuzco that trainworkers will be going on strike later on that day ...before arriving back in Cuzco.What happens if you have a flat tire in a very remote part of Alaska? ...with no cell service ...in pouring rain ...and a plane to catch over 200 miles away. By the way, where is that spare tire on this rented Ford Explorer? What? No bumper jack?And what I learned from that bartender in central Mexico ...y'know, that guy with those strange bluish crosses tattooed on both eyelids ...yeah, that's the guy...Under a relentless hot desert sun in Alexandria, Pompey's Pillar is a very unusual site to see in Egypt. But don't fall down those famous Alabaster Steps. But if one does, do you go to the hospital? No, you go to a pharmacist.Never, I mean never ever lose your passports ...and airline tickets ...and travelers checks all in the same day in central Mexico.This collection of travel stories is not about jam-packed buses, cruise ships, tours, or about well-known places in the world. These are some true tales about several quite peculiar surprises that occurred while traipsing around ...a few hecic treks.
